Hagel says "Palin" a "stretch"

WASHINGTONNebraska Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel said his party's vice presidential nominee, Sarah Palin, lacks foreign policy experience and called it a "stretch" to say she's qualified to be president.

"She doesn't have any foreign policy credentials," Hagel said in an interview published Thursday by the Omaha World-Herald. "You get a passport for the first time in your life last year? I mean, I don't know what you can say. You can't say anything."

It's an odd day when I agree with a Republican, and today is no different than before. It's odd to say that Obama amounts to all that much of a change, too. Obama uses the "N" (nukes) word. How can anyone justify to future generations our great need for nukes? They have no way of knowing where that stuff will go. I've spent too much time writing about the life expectancy of nuclear fuel and threats to Earth's various habitats for millions of years from the crazy acts of fundamentalist with nukes. Palin, a fundamentalist, claims Earth's greenhouse affect arose from an act of God. Blaming God will not help. God help us!

So, anyway, I don't see a lot of promise out there. McBush selects a radical fundamentalist to become president, and Obama's use of the "N" work disqualifies him from serious consideration. Then, Obama's got to overcome this talk of "earmarks" for his wife's employer as well as others.

The Green's candidate is not a "Green" and she selected a party-hardy girl for her running mate. To think that someone espousing the virtues of rap as an implement of positive social change would run as a Green! Is there anything Green in her head? To think that the Greens candidate searchers are searching out black women for the sake of running black women, regardless of their Green knowledge, amounts to a total failure of Green electoral politics.

It's hopeless, absolutely hopeless. I'm staying home this time, and probably next time!
